Welcome the Archivo Histórico General del Estado de Sinaloa to the Flickr Commons!

The archive’s collection reaches back to 1665 and contains an extensive number of documents, including maps, photographs, videos, and a small physical library with 7,000 volumes.

Founded in 1999, the Archivo Histórico de Sinaloa hosts one of the largest digital libraries in Mexico. Its staff is working to digitize the entire collection of images with the goal of making it available to anyone interested. They want to help spread the history of the state of Sinaloa and put its documents to good use, whether for academic or personal purposes.

Check out the collection on Flickr and feel free to share more information with them through your meaningful comments and tags.

We are very proud of the The Flickr Commons photos uploaded by galleries, libraries, archives, museums, and governmental institutions. These photos won’t be deleted as a result of any of our announced changes. Photos that were Creative Commons licensed before our announcement are also safe.

Featured Photographer

Earlier this year, a group of ten young creatives, who met through Flickr about a decade ago, decided to come together to recreate some of their older works in a series of self-portraits they took at the very beginning of their careers. The idea was to look back, explore the memories made on Flickr, and celebrate their accomplishments as artists.
